/seek Chat Mode- "LEVEL 32 PUP LOOKING FOR PARTY...ANYONE? PLEASE?"

[Zyeriis]

This idea really is just global chat that you need to flag up to use. I can see a flag up, mentor status, or something along those lines activation to get into the global chat but there's a few problems with this.

For starters, chat "channels" can only accomodate so many people. This is why we are limited on how many people can be in a linkshell (at least one of the major reasons). Shout isn't a chat channel, it's an extended /say mode. Shout is AoE and is thus, not a "channel". So, for the same reasons as linkshells being limited, a global chat channel wouldn't be implemented.

I'm not against such a thing but I don't its possible from a technical standpoint, especially considering certain "limitations".

I'm not against such a thing...

Well, I am against it. Because I'm a Lv31 WHM, and I want to leech/keywhore in Abyssea, but Port Jeuno is just too crowded and laggy for me. If they had a 10 Lv range limit, then I wouldn't be able to reach higher levels, so they can hear me beg to be a chest opener.

So if they had a chat channel with no level range, then I'm ok with that. And also while we're on topic... Why does Abyssea have to be Lv30 cap? They should just lower the limit to Lv1 and call it a day, don't you agree?

...what? Why did you even quote me, to be sarcastic (poorly at that)? What does my post have to do with any of the things you said?

Sarcasm I think.

Make your own video game if you are so displeased with how the dev. team is handling FFXI. They make the game, we play it. There's only so much feedback SE can take from people who have no experience in video game design of any sort.

On topic congruent with that post: No, those ideas are piss-poor. The starter level for Abyssea should be 75, because level 30~75 really don't have anything to offer inside abyssea.
